The notebook that never gets buried.

FlipNote floats above every window you own โ€” browser, spreadsheet, chart, game. Jot the thought, flip the page, carry on. It nudges you when you asked it to.

Run it on your PC

FlipNote is a Python desktop app. There is no installer yet โ€” you run it straight from the source folder, and it starts in about a second.

  1. Install Python 3.10+ for Windows, ticking "Add python.exe to PATH".
  2. Install the one dependency:
pip install PySide6
  1. Start it โ€” double-click start_flipnote.bat, or run:
pythonw C:\Users\you\flipnote\app.py

Using pythonw instead of python launches it without a console window. FlipNote docks to the top-right on first run; drag it wherever you like and it stays there next time.
